How to get re-interest in crickets?

[Malon3r]

So over the last few months, my 9-11 month old(approx) guy has stopped eating/showing any interest in crickets. I can basically only feed him 6-8 super worms in the morning(as i know with their chitin/hard shell 6-8 is about the most that can be fed in a day) and his daily greens/peppers.

He eats his greens when he wants and will most days devour his 6-8 super worms, but i wonder if there is any way to get him re-interested in crickets, as with super worms he wont really run after, they have to be close to him for him to show effort to eat(the lazy bastard)

any opinions?

His temps are good, has a reptisun 10.0 uvb tube, poops regularly(every 2-3 days) and they look ok imo. gets baths/water every few days

My dragon got the same way. You might want to try adding hornworms and butter worms to his diet as they can aid in hydration, as well as variety. My dragon will often let crickets crawl onto him now, but that also coincided with him being introduced to dubia roaches. He often thinks the crickets are going to be dubia roaches and runs out of his viv to eat. Then, when they turn out to be crickets he gets extremely disappointed and becomes uninterested. My fix was simple. I've decided to order dubia online, and will start my own dubia colony soon. That way, will cost nothing (except for feeding them), they live longer, they don't stink, they don't make noises, they don't live when they escape....if they escape, they don't jump so my dragon will be able to catch them easier, they're supposed to be more nutritious than crickets, and most importantly; my dragon loves to eat them.
It makes absolutely no sense to me any longer to even keep crickets as feeders. At my local reptile store, they want more than double the cost of getting them online (why? I have NO idea). But, I'm getting a bulk order of nymphs to feed him and hopefully I can start a colony with them as well. I have my doubts that I will have enough left over to start a colony, so I will probably have to order a colony starter kit next week. There are a lot of people here who have their own dubia colonies, and now I understand why.
I'm still planning on feeding him hornworms and butter worms. And sometimes phoenix worms and super worms to mix it up, for a more balanced diet that will keep his interest. Hornworms are usually his dessert after feeding him dubia. And he LOVES his desserts.

I would love to use pheonix worms and dubai... but unfotunately dubai are illegal in Canada... dumb laws. And the closest place that ships out pheonix worms, for some reason to my area would cost 40$ in shipping... for a 20$ order of worms :S the logic there is astounding..

I was thinking of getting a few hornworms to give every so often.. but last time i introduced super worms, he stopped eating crickets so it seems like a risk
